A furniture company is introducing a new line of lounge chairs next quarter. These are the cost and revenue functions, where x r

epresents the number of chairs to be manufactured and sold: R(x) = 1,248x – 8.32x2 C(x) = 36,400 – 83.2x For the company to make a profit on the chairs, the selling price can go no lower than $ and no higher than $.

no lower than 35 and no higher than 125

QveST [7]2 years ago

Answer:

No lower than $208, and no higher than $956.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the revenue (income) function is represented by a quadratic expression (a parabola with branches pointing down), and the cost function is linear with negative slope.

When we plot them, we obtain the graphs shown in the attached image. Notice as well that there are two points of intersection for these two functions. The revenue exceeds (lays above) the cost in between the two points of intersection (marked in red and green).

For the company to make a profit, the revenue has to be larger than the cost, so we study the limiting values for that to happen, which is the points of intersection of these two curves.

The first one (pictured in red) is associated with coordinates (35, 33488) which tells us that is the production of 35 chairs with a revenue of $33,488. That is a cost per chair of $33,488 / 35 = $956.8

The second intersection (pictured in green) is associated with coordinates (125, 26000), which tells us that is the production of 125 chairs with a revenue of $26,000. That is a cost per chair of $26000 / 125 = $ 208

So these values give us the minimum and maximum that the company can charge to make a profit.

An equation for the depreciation of a car is given by y = A(1 – r)t , where y = current value of the car, A = original cost, r =
Mamont248 [21]
<h2>The car is about 6.6 years old.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An equation for the depreciation of a car is given by y = A(1-r)^t, where y = current value of the car, A = original cost, r = rate of depreciation, and t = time, in years. The value of a car is half what it originally cost. The rate of depreciation is 10%.

To find : Approximately how old is the car?

Solution :

The value of a car is half what it originally cost i.e. y=\frac{1}{2} A

The rate of depreciation is 10% i.e. r=10%=0.1

Substitute in the equation, y = A(1-r)^t

\frac{1}{2} A= A(1-0.1)^t

\frac{1}{2}= (0.9)^t

Taking log both side,

\log(\frac{1}{2})=t\log (0.9)

t=\frac{\log(\frac{1}{2})}{\log (0.9)}

t=6.57

t\approx 6.6

Therefore, the car is about 6.6 years old.

podryga [215]

Answer:

£1290

Step-by-step explanation:

35%+40%= 75%

£600=25% £600÷20=30 25%of till = 30 notes 100%=120 notes

40% of 120 =48notes 48x10=£480

90notes-48notes=42notes

42x£5=£210

£600+£480+£210=£1290

Kay [80]

Answer:

Ethan and Tenaya ate more than half of their pizza.

Sam and Suzy ate less than half of their pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that each of the four friends ordered individual pizzas. They ate some part of the pizzas and we have to find who ate more than half of their pizza? Less than half?

Suzy ate 3/8 of her pizza. It means she ate 0.375 of her pizza which is less than half.

Ethan ate 3/5 of his pizza. It means he ate 0.6 of his pizza which is greater than half.

Tenaya ate 4/6 of her pizza. It means she ate 0.67 of his pizza which is greater than half.

Sam ate 1/3 oh his pizza. It means he ate 0.3 of his pizza which is less than half.

Hence, we can conclude that

Ethan and Tenaya ate more than half of their pizza.

Sam and Suzy ate less than half of their pizza.

Factorise 125x^3 -27y^3
telo118 [61]

Answer:

(5x - 3y)(25x² +15xy + 9y²)

Step-by-step explanation:

125x³ - 27y³ is a difference of cubes and factors in general as

a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b²)

Given

125x³ - 27y³

= (5x)³ - (3y)³

= (5x - 3y)((5x)² + (5x)(3y) + (3y)²)

= (5x - 3y)(25x² + 15xy + 9y²)
